El Chapo or Donald Trump: Halloween, Mexicans the drug lord and the American billionaire presidential candidate, for their costumes.

The latex mask of the leader of the Sinaloa cartel with regulatory black mustache and holding striped prisoner is sold $ 30 on the Internet and in some shops in Mexico City. The company that manufactures, Grupo Rev, reported to have already sold 2000 and launched a manufacturing 1,700 new parts.

If every November 2nd, Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead with exceptional fervor, the Halloween party, Oct. 31, and its attendant terror disguises, saw its popularity increase. Scenting good business, companies have jumped at the chance to offer the disguises of “villains” in fashion.

Faced with El Chapo, Donald Trump embodies abroad xenophobic enemy. Within months, the Republican presidential candidate has become the most hated man in Mexico after his unkind statements against Mexican migrants, treated as rapists and criminals.

Grupo Rev has so far produced 250 masks of the billionaire, but company officials are optimistic. They hope ultimately sell as many disguises of the most wanted man in Mexico as the most hated.
